Ultramen

oh maannn, you were in NOBROW???? *follows* I have such love for that magazine. Someday all the issues will be mine. ALL OF THEM! :D

I was! And yes. They are awesome. Good goal!

have some? ask some.

"So what is the news besides the blues?"

It's cold in my house. But I'm enjoying a new scarf. But I ate a dissatisfying brownie. Trade-offs.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been madly preparing for May Day in Baltimore with an event in celebration of Robin Hardy’s The Wickerman. My friend Melissa LaMartina and I organized the event complete with bands playing songs from the soundtrack, burlesque performances, an actual maypole with an actual maypole dance (thank you Chuck and Chelsea!), a humongous wickerman photobooth (seen above, featuring me in my Summerisle lady garb and our very own Lord Summerisle himself), and an art show featuring gorgeous work from artists Monica Amneus, Alan Brown, Michael Bukowski, Zé Burnay, Shirley Chan, Jeanne D'Angelo, Alex Fine, Mandi Johnson, Justine Jones, Cailin Marie, Janna Morton, Becca Stadtlander, Maureen Sullivan, and Jabari Weathers. Jimmy Giegerich also designed a shirt from Pizza Party Printing specially for the event (and you can get that shirt here). I designed and illustrated the poster, a 2-color limited-edition screen print, which you can get here for $15.

Everything about Sunday was a blast and I couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out or more thrilled by all the hard work and response by everybody involved.

And now, come. It’s time to keep your appointment with the wickerman.

Thank you, Catherine Coulson, for giving us such a beloved character. You will be missed.

A 2012 year-end review! Here are some of my favorite pieces I created in 2012. All of these were either tons of fun to make, helped me grow in some way, or gave me a chance to play with something new. Looking back, I think what I've learned from this past year, and what I need to do better this new year is simple: Make more. More more more. More. 

2013! Gonna make so much more!!

I decided to paint a little Japanese beetle tonight. They have furry stripes on their bellies! #gouache (Taken with instagram)

A little request from Meg Hunt :)

Recently, I was invited to take part in Scout Books GOOD INK: American Shorts. Their series of small books telling classic short stories are each illustrated by one of many talented artists, and it's exciting to be included among them. My story, The Isle of Voices by Robert Louis Stevenson, entails giant warlocks, disembodied voices, and magic shells. Here are a couple of the illustrations that you'll find in the book. Keep an eye out for it in bookstores soon!
